Tips:

  • Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should be firm and have a slight briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong ammonia smell.
  • Use a good quality chorizo. Spanish chorizo is typically made with pork, paprika, garlic, and pimentón (Spanish paprika). It is available in cured or fresh form. For this recipe, you will need fresh chorizo.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the shrimp and chorizo, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will make the chorizo greasy.
  • Use a hot pan. When cooking the shrimp and chorizo, be sure to use a hot pan. This will help to sear the shrimp and chorizo and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the shrimp and chorizo until they are cooked through. Shrimp should be cooked until they are pink and opaque. Chorizo should be cooked until it is no longer pink and is slightly crispy.
  • Serve the shrimp and chorizo tapas immediately. These tapas are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as aioli, romesco sauce, or chimichurri sauce.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and chorizo tapas are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh shrimp, chorizo, and a variety of spices. The shrimp and chorizo are cooked in a hot pan until they are cooked through and then served immediately. These tapas can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as aioli, romesco sauce, or chimichurri sauce.
